Not a lot of track guys on here but you know where to look.
Looking at position of steering arms it looks like there is no apparent anti or pro ackerman. Suspension parts are all new so no wear. I think feathering may be due to Palm Beach Raceway layout with mostly high speed right turns. Ackerman steering is turning passenger wheel to a tighter radius causing feathering. Unloaded passenger side tire also has much less slip angle. Need to run again at Sebring to get more equal left and right turns. I added a little bit of toe in for this weeks session at PBIR to see if it helps.
